Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma is a remarkably compelling blend of interdisciplinary theory and applied case material. The science is accurate, and the clinical material is absorbing. Sharon Stanleys integration of anthropological and cultural material with relational body techniques is unique. This book will have an indelible impact on the field.

This second edition of Sharon Stanleys Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma adds to the wisdom of the first edition, incorporating ancestral wisdom and addressing collective trauma. The book is an excellent resource for every clinician with its in-depth descriptions of therapeutic interventions. Holistic trauma healing takes place within the authentic embodied presence of others who offer relational support for somatic healing. Stanley is such a good writer and explainer of brain and body systems that laypeople can benefit from her insights as well. Highly recommended!

As a clinical-community psychologist with a rural Indigenous emphasis, I have found that Dr. Sharon Stanleys work is undeniably culturally responsive for working with Indigenous peoples due to the basic understanding that we are human beings. Her work emulates our tribal values around respect, holding each other up, and having strength and courage. She so beautifully interweaves work about the human body and nervous system together with natural elements such as the land and water, which our Alaska Native peoples have been connected to and dependent on for thousands of years. She teaches human beings how to heal within and reconnect with self while becoming embodied. Mostly, she does this work in a manner that is inviting and safe for those who have experienced trauma individually and collectively. She is a beautiful spirit!"
